Course 114

Course Description

Learn how to produce maintenance procedures that will ensure equipment integrity and reliability

Discover the secrets of producing logical, clearly written, and easy-to-follow maintenance procedures that help you maintain equipment integrity and reliability. Through several workshops and exercises, you will thoroughly cover the procedure-writing process.

Course 114 offers:

  • Course lectures, materials, and workshops devoted to improving your maintenance procedures

  • An approach to writing procedures that takes advantage of the expertise of your craftsmen

  • Practice in performing detailed task analysis and writing step-by-step instructions

After taking Course 114, you will be prepared to write for your primary audience: the maintenance personnel and technicians who use the procedures.

Onsite courses:

This course is especially effective for training a procedure-development team at a site. To get your procedure-development project up and running, send a representative from your facility to the course in Knoxville. Afterward, book a private course at your site within 6 months, and the fee you have paid for the public version will be credited toward the cost of the private course.

Four important benefits you will gain:

  1. Procedures that follow a consistent format are easier to use; in this course you will find the procedure formats that works best for your site

  2. Procedures must be written from the workers' perspective to ensure that the procedures will be used and correctly and understood; you will learn how to write to your audience in this course

  3. Clear, concise, and accurate procedures will help you improve the overall safety and efficiency of your maintenance activities

  4. Learn what resources may be required to perform a revalidation and how to best use them

  5. Come away from the course with these valuable materials:

    • Easy-to-use checklists for gathering information and writing step-by-step instructions

    • A complete notebook of all course materials, including example procedure formats

    • A certificate of completion
